Mojo Filter's Top 15 80's Original Motion Picture Soundtracks

I've never seen the movie Beverly Hills Cop, but I like the songs "The Heat is On" by Glenn Frey and "Axel F" by Harold Faltermeyer. (I don't think I've ever heard any of the other songs on that soundtrack.)


Top Gun has a great soundtrack. The songs I like from the Top Gun soundtrack are "Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins, "Take My Breath Away" by Berlin, and "Heaven In Your Eyes" by Loverboy.

Footloose is another great soundtrack. My favorite songs from the Footloose soundtrack are:

Footloose - Kenny Loggins
Let's Hear It For The Boy - Deniece Williams
Almost Paradise - Mike Reno & Ann Wilson
Holding Out For A Hero - Bonnie Tyler
I'm Free (Heaven Help The Man) - Kenny Loggins
Hurts So Good - John Mellencamp
Waiting For A Girl Like You - Foreigner

You're probably the only person I know (well kinda since I don't know you in person) who has not seen Beverly Hills Cop.
You've never heard Neutron Dance? That song was huge in the 80's.

No, the song doesn't sound familiar, but I listen mostly to country, so there are a lot of popular songs that I've never heard.

Actually I love all the tracks on Footloose, but I only mentioned a few in my top tracks.
Dancing In The Sheets is another highlight.

The movie The Last American Virgin (1982) had some great songs in the movie, but for some reason the best songs aren't on the soundtrack.

Maybe St. Elmo's Fire? That movie has some good music.

I'm generally not a big Loverboy fan, but I love the songs "Heaven In Your Eyes" from Top Gun and "Almost Paradise" (by Mike Reno & Ann Wilson) from Footloose.

Not a big fan of the entire album. I do love John Parr's song, though. Classic!

Loverboy have some really awesome songs, like Working For The Weekend...

and this one



I have yet to explore their entire song catalog

Come'on Mojo.. I would love to see if your #1 is my #1.

David Foster's "Love Theme from St. Elmo's Fire" is also great.

Anyways, without further adieu, I will bring you my number 1 80's soundtrack album...

Yeah, I know both of those Loverboy songs. They're okay, but I don't consider them favorites.

I doubt mine is yours, but we'll see in just a few minutes...

I haven't seen any of the Rocky movies, but I like some of the songs. (But I thought the song "Eye Of The Tiger" was from the movie Rocky III.)

Burning Heart - Survivor
Hearts On Fire - John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band
Eye Of The Tiger - Survivor

Of course, Rocky IV is my top favorite movie soundtrack of the 80's. The entire movie was one music video after another, and ALL the songs rocked!

Wow! You're killing me, gbgoodies

Sorry. I just never had any interest in them, and I don't like Sylvester Stallone.

Beverly Hills Cop
The Heat Is On
Neutron Dance
This is a pretty good soundtrack, though. I am not the biggest fan of Patti LaBelle, but I really like both of her songs on here, too.

Top Gun
Danger Zone
Lead Me On

Footloose
Let's Hear It For The Boy
Dancing In the Sheets
Holding Out For a Hero
This is a great soundtrack. I could easily put this third on my list of 80's soundtracks.

Rocky IV
Living In America
Eye Of the Tiger
Double Or Nothing


This was a thoroughly enjoyable list. Great job!

So, what's the next one going to be?
